    He was also quite direct when something seemed silly or out of place or an overrated piece of writing to him, and that's why he never received the Nobel Prize.

    Well, Borges was a bit sensitive when Mario Vargas Llosa asked him why he was living in a house with leaks, as if mocking Borges a little. Borges laughed and kicked him out of his house, and then said that he had never read any of Llosa's books, and even mockingly called Llosa a condominium...

    Well, perhaps I should have been a little more specific there, since, as I said, it depends on how you define dressing up. What is known is that he dressed extravagantly once with C.S. Lewis. What I understand is that Borges personally, while respecting the right of others to dress as they...

    Well, it depends on what you mean by "disguising" in various programs. Just putting on glasses and a scarf on your face counts as disguising. The same goes for elf ears; it depends on how you define the word.

    Exactly, there's nothing wrong with pointy ears like elves'. There are many drawings by famous and not-so-famous artists who make their characters with pointy ears, and they look good. That's what Borges tries to say: if you like a style, a type of art, a book, you should just read it and look...

    Well, you know, there are people who like that pointy ear thing. If you look closely, many animated series, like Disney and similar ones, have them. And it's said that Tolkien dressed up as an elf and similar things in several of his lectures. And again, Borges believed that Tolkien had the...

    It should be clarified that Borges wasn't insulting Tolkien. He always said, when asked about an author or a book, that what he said was his opinion. He said that if you liked a book, it didn't matter if you were famous or not, as long as you read it. He simply didn't like Tolkien's book and...

    Also, if you research Borges, you'll find out that he saw things like dressing up as an elf, as Tolkien did, as things he wouldn't repeat; he didn't see them as appropriate.

    Hi magic9mushroomI didn't take things out of context. The interview is in English and available in full on YouTube. Borges was asked what he thought of Lord of the Rings. He said, intentionally or not, that he called the book Brotherhood of the Rings and that he found the book tedious, that when...

    Listen, the tools I use for translation are giving errors, so if you expect perfect spelling in any new writing I do, it's best not to read them. I'll try to make the text understandable, but if I happen to slip in one or two mistakes, you know why.

    Well, if a water dragon acted as you say, I would surely tell the dragon this famous line: "It only takes one bullet." Or I would tell the dragon that it surely bathes in dirty water; no matter how much water it spits, a bullet would undoubtedly hurt the dragon

    Tanith get Wonder Weapons

    I think that while that happens, Don Quixote's windmills would turn into the armor of kraken spiders while they emit a massive luminescence and begin to attract distant satellites with their mental force while walking along a path made of colossal stones with giant teeth and drums with fig trees

    As for whether it looks a little disturbing, maybe it does look a little disturbing, but even so I like my painting even if it's not a pixie dream girl
